The most popular method of providing a description of creative industries (CI) is by using a Creative Industries Mapping Document. This tool, in a geographical, economic, and cultural sense, can identify companies and institutions from a particular geographical region which help in expanding CI according to a chosen measurement (for example, taking into account economic results, prospects, fame). CI maps provide statistics on the activities, success, cooperation, and competence (i,e. ability and knowledge) of CI companies, along with their future prospects.
